The proper response to "you look too young to fly is"?

Like I said, folks, it's a temporary problem!

"My beer is too cold, what do I do about it?"

Just wait, it'll solve itself, far quicker than you realize.

I used to have the same problem, now people accuse me of being half of y'all's fathers.

Daddy?
 
@Screaming_Emu - flying for 13 years?

I have socks older than your PPL certificate.

I used to look much younger than I was. About 7 years ago, I passed that threshold and I'm now in the "you look about your age" department.

You don't really have any....sense of it, I guess....until you get your first piece of mail from AARP.

Mine showed up last week.

Kill me now.

You can join AARP for a ridiculously low sum at, I think, 50. Then just ask for the "AARP Discount" at movie theaters, motels, etc. Works even better online making reservations.

May not mix with Crew Rate.

Killbilly may not qualify yet - or he would be killwilliam.

Quoth FloridaLawrence for truth.

True story this morning:

Wife: "You look a little sad."
Me: "Meh. This whole turning-40 thing is bothering just a bit more than it should, I guess."
Wife: "Should we maybe get you a younger, hotter girlfriend?"
Me : [stares into space]
Wife: "You're thinking WAY too long about that, bud."
 
I used to get that a lot...

Now I'm going gray, have 5 o'clock shadow by actually 5 o'clock, and have the requisite long-haul freight bags under my eyes. And I'm only 30! :)
 
I'm a controller. As the post-PATCO strike hires retire, the workforce just keeps getting younger. I have a friend that gets all bent out of shape about it. I personally don't care. Actually, I hope people keep telling me I'm too young. We might as well enjoy it while it lasts.
 
A while ago a friend of mine was new a new captain on a heavy at a major - most captains were much younger - on the crew bus waiting to go to the airplane, the FA began complaining about the captain always being late - not realizing he was already on board.
